The fireplace, horses, and now the mantle, all represent the good things that come from buying local. Randall and his son Jeremy Burris provided the granite mantle today. The carved horses were created by Tim Jennings at Petty's Supply and the fireplace was built by Charlie Taylor 40+ years ago in the barn at 122 East Fortune Street in Columbia.

Crafted into more: a word-list sonnet

By Robert Stone
If you have seen an eight-limbed human freak,
warped cyborg now with octopus outreach,
most likely once cajoled more strength to seek,
remember that rebounds may reasons breach.

If you have scratched and washed the blood away,
as human floating lost in ketamine
was crafted into more than human clay,
recall results are never well foreseen.

If you have longed for spicy tales of woe,
indicative of confrontations strange,
seek chancing interactions that will show
grim hazards not of death but those of change.

If you must grapple with your enemy,
attack what is most like yourself to be.

Goodbye, Bluegrass Cellular service

By Linda Waggener

We begin the week on the third day of what has been a tough weekend for former Bluegrass Cellular customers like me who received messages early Friday afternoon:
"Bluegrass Msg: Your account will migrate to Verizon today. To avoid service interruption, please restart your device repeatedly between 11/13/21 and 11/15/21."
Letting go it hard - it feels like rejection. And letting go of local service is really hard. Surprises are naturally happening as part of the transition.
